Matteo Moretto has provided a response to the reports claiming that AC Milan are moving for Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus.
Jesus was able to celebrate as Arsenal reached their first Champions League final in 20 years last night by beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium (2-1 on aggregate), but there continues to be speculation swirling regarding his future.

Gianluca Di Marzio reported on Sky last week that Milan consider the Brazilian to be an ideal reinforcement for the summer, not only because he is a striker with experience but also because he fits the tactical profile of what the management are looking for.
Gabriel Jesus chances low
On Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Matteo Moretto offered the information he has regarding the stories that the Rossoneri could go in for the former Manchester City man. MilanNews relayed his words.
“So, first of all, I’m not aware of any contact between clubs, in any way. Milan haven’t made any moves regarding the Gabriel Jesus option,” he began.
“However, they have already started asking for information about other strikers. As of today, from what I understand, he is not a priority for Milan. Clearly, we also need to understand how Milan’s final part of the season will be.
“If Milan qualify for the Champions League, what and how certain internal dynamics will develop, even at club level, so we’ll see, but as of today he’s not a priority for Milan. Let’s always remember that Gabriel Jesus’ contract expires in 2027, so we still have to go through Arsenal.
“He’s hired new Italian agents, Branchini since last January, so we’ll see what happens for him, what will happen for Lewandowski too, because Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zavi wasn’t in Italy last week.
“It was said that he was at San Siro for Milan Juve, that’s not the case, but Pini Zahavi will be in Italy very, very soon.”
